Borecole^ Kale and German Greens are general 

 terms applied to certain cabbage-like plants which 

 do not form heads but are used in their open 

 growth. Some of the varieties are the most ten- 

 der and delicate of any of the cabbage tribe. 

 They are hardy and are not injured by the frost. 



CULTURE— As far north as New York they may be sown in September and treated 

 like spioage, or they may be planted and treated like late cabbage and will continue 

 growing untU very late in the season. In the south they will live and grow through- 

 out the winter without protection. It is better not to cut or handle them when frozen, 

 but if this is unavoidable, thaw them out in cold water. The young shoots which start 

 up in the spring from the old stumps are very tender and make excellent greens. 

 TALL GREEN CURLED SCOTCH. This is very hardy and is not injured by a 

 moderate frost. About thirty inches tall, with an abundance of dark green leaves, 

 which are densely curled and cut, forming a very beautiful plant. It stands the 

 winters in the Middle States without any protection. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 15c;

Dwarf Curled Scotch, or German Greens ^ifViriTrge'TS*: 



deep green leaves, curled, cut and crimped until the whole plant resembles a bunch 

 of moss. It would be well worthy of cultivation simply for its beauty. One of the 

 best sorts for use and when well grown and cooked is one of the most palatable 

 of vegetables. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 2 Oz. 16c; % Lb. 25c; Lb. 80c.

Siberian Kale. 



KoKlRabi 



Early White 



Vienna 

 Kohl Rabu 



The Kohl Rabi is a vegetable 

 intermediate between the cab- 

 bage and turnip, and combines 

 the flavor of each. The edible 

 part is a turnip-shaped bulb formed by the enlargement of the stem. When 

 used for the table this should be cut when quite small, as it is then very 

 tender and delicate, but if allowed to reach its full size, it becomes tough 

 and stringy. , ., , . ^ .„ . .^ 



CULTURE— Sow in light, rich soil as early as possible, m drills sixteen 

 /inches apart, and when well established, thin to six inches apart in the row. One 

 (or two plantings at intervals of ten days will give a succession until hot weather, 

 •when they fail to grow well; but plantmgs may be 

 made the latter part of July, for fall use.

L/£I^K 



Belongs to the onion family. Sow the 

 seed and care for the young plants as 

 for onions, but they need more room in 

 order to develop fully. When the young 

 plant is about the size of a goose quill, transplant to a prepared bed in 

 rows one foot apart and four or five inches in the row. Set the roots 

 deep and draw the earth to them when cultivating, so that they may 

 be well blanched by the time they are fit for use.
